Will Democrats ride a blue wave in November, or … just get the blues? Assumptions have run high that Nancy Pelosi & Co will have both history and an unpopular president on their side, generating enough momentum to swamp out Republicans and reclaim control of the House. Paul Ryan’s retirement, and more than two dozen others in the House Republican caucus, seems to indicate an acknowledgment of a coming Democratic tsunami.
Don’t tell American voters that, however. A new poll from ABC and the Washington Post puts the two parties close to a virtual dead head in the generic congressional ballot:
With the Republicans’ House majority at risk, 47 percent of registered voters say they prefer the Democratic candidate in their district, while 43 percent favor the Republican. That four-point margin compares with a 12-point advantage Democrats held in January. Among a broader group of voting-age adults, the Democrats’ margin is 10 points, 50 percent to 40 percent. …
Democrats hold an advantage ahead of the midterm elections, but a Washington Post-ABC News poll shows that edge has narrowed since January, a signal to party leaders and strategists that they could be premature in anticipating a huge wave of victories in November.
The poll finds that the gap between support for Democratic vs. Republican House candidates dropped by more than half since the beginning of the year.

I was just about to say that. LOL !!
Unfortunately for Comrade Democratski, there is no "generic" democrat, and most of candidates have documented histories and they are very familiar to the voters. That situation gets not only a "no" from the voters for most democrats but an emphatic "hell no".
They need to dump San Fran Pelosi and front Conor Lamb.
But they’re too stupid to do it.
And they’ll have Hillary in the headlines all year.
Its Back To The Past for the Democrats...
We rid ourselves of Ryan, they remain shackled to Pelosi. Life is good.
"...we on the right must unite..."
Trump's approval rating is above 51%... getting close to the point where pollsters will decide 'the American people don't care about ratings' - - and they'll stop asking.
Watch for it - they ARE that corrupt.
and Quinnipiac has it at dems +3 and Rasmussen has it at dems +5

The key question is how long will the media run with their charade of... a blue wave is coming? A BLUE WAVE IS COMING!
Hell, it’s not they have any credibility left as it is and they certainly can’t get away with saying “Nobody saw this coming” when people(like me) are saying RIGHT NOW that the idiot dems will not take the House.
I believe that you might see some blue seats flipping...You might see (if the CT GOP elect a candidate who’ll make Connecticut Great Again), you might see 2 seats flipping...(CT-2 and CT-5 were strong Trump areas).
2010 House election, the GOP won a 49 seat margin with a 7% vote margin.
